Emergency Temporary Proxy Parent for Teenage Girls in Coventry, West Midlands

A warm and supportive proxy parent is sought to care for two independent teenage girls aged 13
and 16 while their parent is away. This role would suit someone calm, friendly and naturally
encouraging, who can provide a steady presence and gentle guidance in the home.
The youngest attends school in the mornings from 8:30am–11:20am, while the eldest has a
flexible weekly schedule with activities typically between 11:30am and 2:30pm or 4:30pm. Both
girls are capable and largely independent. The youngest is helpful and happy to guide a new
nanny through their routine and the home, while the eldest enjoys thoughtful conversation and
particularly likes discussing current affairs.
The girls enjoy cooking and will often prepare meals themselves. The nanny’s role is to be
present and supportive, helping maintain structure to the day and offering reminders around
routines such as personal hygiene, laundry, and getting ready for and winding down from the
day.
A positive role model who encourages healthy eating, independence and a balanced outlook
would be ideal. This is a lovely opportunity for someone who enjoys working with teenagers and
creating a calm, supportive home environment where young people can continue to grow in
confidence and independence.
